1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

2 L ord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 I f iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

4 B ut with Thee forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

5 I hoped Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

6 M y soul for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

7 I srael doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah kindness, And abundant with Him redemption.

8 A nd He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
